This keto cupcake uses Swerve Sweetener. It’s a simple way to keep the carbs down and still enjoy desserts. You can also try monk fruit sweetener.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! These almond flour cupcakes can be made up to two days ahead of time. For best results, store them in an airtight container and keep them refrigerated until ready to serve. Make sure to let them cool completely before frosting.

How to store almond flour cupcakes?

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator, depending on your preference. The cupcakes will keep for up to 5 days in the fridge and up to 3 days at room temperature.

Tips for baking with almond flour

When baking with almond flour, it’s important to keep a few things in mind. Firstly, almond flour is dense and absorbs more liquid than all-purpose flour.

As such, you may need to increase the amount of liquid used when making recipes that call for all-purpose flour. Additionally, be sure not to overmix your batter as this can result in tough and dry cupcakes.

Can I freeze almond flour chocolate cupcakes?

Yes, these cupcakes can be frozen for up to 3 months. Place them in an airtight container or freezer bag and store them in the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy them, let them thaw at room temperature before serving.

Don’t frost them until you serve them for the best results. Frosting does not usually freeze well.

What sweeteners can I use in almond flour cupcakes?

I use Swerve. It’s an easy keto sweetener to bake with and it doesn’t have a bad aftertaste.

Can I use almond meal?

No, you need super fine almond flour for this almond flour chocolate cupcake recipe. Almond meal doesn’t work well in baking. I use this brand.
